By the Assoclated Press. SACRAMENTO, Calif., November 22. ~The fate of Thomas J. Mooney, who | for years has protested from a prison cell that he s innocent of the 1916 Pre- paredness day bombing in San Fran- cisco, which killed 10 persons and in- iu"d many others, rested almost entire- ly wday in the hands of the State Pa- gole Board. Gov. C. C. Young indicated he wou'd Jet the decision of the parole board be the final word in the case when he re- quested yesterday that it investigate and recommend action on Mooney's pardon appeal. Gov. Young said he had been blocked n a personal investigation by the un- willingness of witnesses to give informa- ton and also said he had been unable to form an opinion after months of study. Billings' Case Studied. While the State Supreme Court con- siders the case of Warren K. Billings, eonvicted with Mooney for the bomb blast, the pardon board, consisting of Attorney Genera] U. S. Webb, Lieut. Gov. H. L. Carnahan, James Johnson, director of the department of penology, and Wardens Court Smith of Folsom Prison and James Holohan of San Quentin Prison, will be studying the Mooney case. Billings has asked the Supreme Court | for permission to appeal to the governor for & pardon. Gov. Young has expressed satisfaction in the turn of affairs brought about by Billings’ move, He has felt that the Billings and Mooney cases were paral- el and he has studied together the transeripts of the cases. They dovetail #n many instances, he said. Court’s Authority Cited. ‘The governor said the Supreme Court and pardon board would be able to make headway where he had failed, be- cause they could issue subpoenas and eompel the attendance of witnesses and she production of documents. Meanwhile, he will continue his own studies and investigations. ‘The studles by the Supreme Court, pardon_board and himself will take | s500 some time, the governor said, but “it will be time woll spent.” “Entirely irrespective of whatever other crimes may be charged against Mooney and Billings, if these men were not guilty of this particular erime, to keep them in prison would be an in- effaceable blot upon the good name of the State,” said Gov. Young. Cloth Admits Sun’'s Rays. Dress reformers and advocates of beach sun bathing have received a blow in the announcement in Europe that a new fabric has been invented which al- lows fres passage of ultra-violet rays. ‘With its adoption, it is claimed, suh bathing will become unnecessary, and open necks and “shorts” equall | will not go home between now and the Even if Sessions Ran Together. BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT. | Nine days adjournment of Congress, | | from tonight until Monday noon, De- cember 2, will cost the Government about $175,000 in mileage charges for the.members, or at the rate of slightly | under $20,000 a day during the recess. However, if the special session had | continued right up to the regular ses- sion the members still would have been able to collect the mileage without hav- ing left Washington, under what 1is | known as a ‘“constructive” adjourn- | ment. The interpretation of .the Con- | stitution regarding sessions makes a positive break between them, no matter how close together they may be. It might have appeared less justi- | fiable to collect mileage where two ses- | sions run into each other. The nine- | day adjournment gives an actual clos- ing up of shop and possibility of going | home before beginning the regular | session. That members of Congress | give considerable weight to the mileage | item as an augmentation of their n- | comes is not disputed. | Those living near Washington, in Vir- | ginia_or Maryland, naturally 'do not | care much, if anything, about the pay- ment, which is at the rate of 20 cents a mile coming and going from the mem- | ber's home. The law requires that the | member take the route “usually trav- eled” in a direct line to reach Washing- ton. That prevents roundabout travel- ing that would increas¢ the mileage al- lowance. In continental United States a mem- ber from California draws $1,300, which is the largest allowance. This is paid whether or not he leaves Washington. By taking airplanes, members could re- turn home and get back at the opening of the regular session to Pacific points, and even might make the round trip with a day to spare by train, For the representatives of the Phil- llppine Islands, who have the salaries and perquisites of members of the House of Representatives, but who cannot vote, a flat mileage allowance of $2,000 from Manila to Washington is the largest for outlying possessions, the distance bflmi approximately 7,000 miles. For Hawail the allowance is $1,500 and Porto Rico, 00. In defense of the mileage, even when, as at present, the special and regular sessions are close together, it is ex- plained at the Capitol that many mem- bers of the House actually had gone home pending action by the Senate on the tariff bill and that they feel they are entitled to the allowance, not only constructively, but in fact. A number of Houss members have remained in ‘Washington and like many Senators opening of Congress on December 2. Normally there are 435 Representa- tives and 96 Senators to be paid mileage, but some vacancies due to death, resig- nation and other causes. will ‘reduce | the total to 531, slightly and to that ex- tent cut the cost to the Government.
